 The John H. Starin makes another of her delightful excursions to Glen Island to-day. The islands attractions render it one of the most perfect of pleasure resorts, and the sail down and back is most inviting.
 Grand Canton, Golden Rules annual ex- cursion tomorrow to New York and Coney Island by the Elm City will be one of the notable affairs of the season. The following are among the invited guests: Governor Lounsbury, Mayor York, Gene ral c. B. Fos- ter, Colonel Terhune, Major Smith, Captain Meyer, Lieutenant Ploeger, Ensign Buchter and all the Sassacus line off cers; also the grand master of the Grand 1odge,I. O. O. F., and Grand Patriarch Coe of Hartford. The of ficers of Grand Canton Golden Rule are: Captain M. A. Ray, commandant, Captain c. H. Bradley, Lieutenant John Widman, Lieutenant Fairfield, Ensign Eldridge, En- sign Gowie, c. P. Jordan, treasurer, D. 0. Winans, secretary. The boat leaves Belle dock at 8. m. and lands at Twentyfrst street, New York, both going and returning, allowing five hours at New York and plenty of time at Coney Island. The excellent man. agement and select character of the throng renders this capital chance to take the cool ing breeze and escape from the city's torrid heat. Tickets can be obtained of any mem- Der of the canton and at 114 Church street, or of any of the committee at the dock on the morning of the excursion. On the sail down it is probable that the boat will pass the New York Yacht club coming this way: and the sail down will be past Bedloe's and Gov ernor's Islands by route not hitherto taken on these trips.
 A party of twenty-five New Haveners go on the steamer Ivernis to-day to fish off Faulkners Island. They take competent guides who know the fishing grounds where the sea bass and big blackfsh do most con- gregate, and go fully prepared to encounter sharks, even if they are man eaters.

 St. Patrick's Y. M. L. association's excur- sion to Glen Island takes place next Thursday by the John H. Starin.
